Sheehan vs the Bush

I have only been following the Sheehan story peripherally since this is exactly the sort of thing the media loves, drives, and blows completely out of proportion. Generally, I support Sheehan's right to protest -- she is clear about what her goal is. Of course, while I would like Bush to be a bigger man and at least give her 15 minutes of his time, part of me realizes that if he does it for one, then all the crazies and motivated will basically do the same thing.

I guess I'm of divided opinion on how this is affecting Bush's Texas neighbors. Part of me thinks they are getting everything the deserve since if they hadn't given Bush support, we might all not be in this mess now. (Why didn't they just keep him drunk, drugged, and down on the ranch?!?) But clearly, the bigger part of me would find this very disruptive, annoying, and I wouldn't want to be within hearing distance of such a disaster.

Of course that means some are taking out their own frustration on both the Sheehan and Bush camps and I'm guessing this has something to do with their overall feelings on the bigger issues related to the war. Maybe it was about time that something indirect started to galvanize folk. Clearly, it's not easy to take a stand on the actual US policy related to Iraq -- if you are against the war then that means you support terrorists, right? And it is entirely likely that many feel that while something needed to be done to Saddam, it is easy to have some complaints and disagreements about what was down, how it all went down, and the years and years of pain we will have to suffer through for years to come.

Anyway, KATU (Portland's ABC affiliate on channel 2) wants to know "Do you support or oppose what she is doing?" Have your say. What I found most interesting is that 0% have replied "Not Sure" so it's clear that people have strong feelings about this one.
